Nosler Match Grade 308 Winchester ammunition delivers the precision and consistency serious long-range shooters demand. Built around Nosler's Custom Competition hollow point boat tail bullet in 168 grain, this match-grade ammo pairs superior ballistics with meticulous quality control—the combination that separates competitive and precision loads from off-the-shelf rounds. Whether you're dialing in a precision rifle for competition, testing loads at the range, or hunting at distance, this ammunition is engineered to group tight and perform predictably, shot after shot.
The 168-grain Custom Competition bullet design minimizes aerodynamic drag through a small meplat and hollow point geometry, promoting superior stability downrange. That translates to flatter trajectories and tighter clusters—exactly what competitive shooters and long-range hunters need when precision matters. Nosler backs this performance with brass that's individually inspected, neck-sized, chamfered, and trued, with flash holes verified for proper alignment. Powder charges are weighed to tight tolerances, and every finished round is visually inspected and polished before it ships.
The 308 Winchester remains the gold standard for precision rifle competition and long-range field work. At a muzzle velocity of 2750 fps and muzzle energy of 2820 ft-lbs, this load delivers the velocity and energy curve competitors and hunters expect from a proven caliber. Twenty rounds per box keeps your cost reasonable while giving you enough ammunition to work up loads, dial in your rifle, or run a match string without breaking the bank.
